Special Day for Our Favorite Couple

Today is Mom and Dad's 47th Wedding Anniversary and I think that today's post will be about Mom.

She has been by Dad's side every day since the stroke and has been Dad's number one supporter. She has also been a rock for us kids, showing us how much confidence she has in Dad and his will to recover. Every time Dad hears Mom's voice, feels her hand on his cheek or receives a kiss, you see him relax and feel more at ease.

He was in Physical Therapy on Friday and while Mom was cheering him on as he tried to sit up, he winked at her. As she told me over dinner on Saturday, they have always had fun together from living it up in the Bay Area when they were young (seeing the Beatles and Tony Bennett) to driving in their VW bus across the Southwest. They are an amazing couple who will have many more years together and next year, Dad will owe her a dinner out for their 48th. Thanks Mom for being there for Dad. He is a lucky fellow.

  2. What a beautiful tribute to your Mom! We all know what an amazing woman she is, but you have so lovingly shared what an amazing wife, family rock and "cheerleader" she is, too!
    I know that Denny is drawing his strength and will to recover from her love, positive energy and spirit. How lucky are they to have each other!
    Happy Anniversary to you both, Pam & Denny!
